[Construction of new energy projects in Ordos coal mining subsidence area started]Recently, Inner Mongolia Energy Group held a centralized commencement ceremony for major energy projects in the spring of 2023, and a branch venue was set up in the Shanghai Temple Economic Development Zone of Etuokeqian Banner to participate in the ceremony. Among the concentrated start of major energy projects, the most eye-catching one is the new energy 4GW project in the Ordos coal mining subsidence area in western Mengxi, which started construction in Etuokeqianqi. It is understood that the new energy 4GW project in the Ordos coal mining subsidence area in western Mengxi is located in the Shanghai Miao coal mining subsidence area in Ordos City, Inner Mongolia. It is one of the second batch of large-scale wind power photovoltaic bases in the country. The target construction of a five-in-one national-level photovoltaic demonstration base of governance, off-board economy, landscape tourism, and rural revitalization; the project consists of 3 sub-projects with a total investment of 21.843 billion yuan. It is planned to build a photovoltaic power station with a rated total capacity of 4 million kilowatts. Utilizing the existing ±800 kV UHV DC transmission channel from Shanghai Temple to Linyi, Shandong, and relying on the peak-shaving resources of 8 million kilowatt coal-fired power units, the joint operation of thermal power and new energy is used to send out. It is planned to complete grid-connected power generation in 2023. Li Jinzhu, deputy general manager of Inner Mongolia Tongyang New Energy Co., Ltd. and person in charge of sub-project 1, said that the planned area of the project is about 35,300 mu, and a 1 million-kilowatt photovoltaic power generation project will be built in accordance with the complementary plan of agriculture, forestry, and animal husbandry. Planning and construction of economic supporting facilities under the board, 100% of the photovoltaic field area is arranged in the coal mining subsidence area. The project is expected to be connected to the grid for power generation at the end of 2023. After it is put into operation, new energy green power can be directly sent to Shandong. It can save about 560,000 tons of standard coal every year, reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 1.55 million tons, reduce sulfur dioxide emissions by 189 tons, reduce nitrogen oxide emissions by 284 tons, and reduce smoke and dust emissions by 41 tons.

On the afternoon of October 8th, under the on-site escort of the Guangdong Zhanjiang Maritime Bureau's "Haixun 0927" ship, the first flatbed cargo ship dedicated to the transportation of new energy vehicles in the Qiongzhou Strait, the "Green Source No. 1" ship, slowly entered the Xuwen Hai'an New Port, marking the successful trial operation of the ship's roll on/roll off transport route in the Qiongzhou Strait. It is reported that the deck cargo ship "Green Source No.1" has a total tonnage of 6731, a net tonnage of 3769, a length of 125.8 meters, and a width of 28 meters. The ship adopts a single-layer deck design, which can carry more than 160 new energy vehicles on a single voyage under full load conditions. The parking capacity is about 60% higher than that of existing passenger and roll on/roll off transport ships. The ship is planned to be deployed on the route from Hai'an New Port in Zhanjiang to Xiuying Port in Haikou. After being put into operation, it will add a new mode of sea transportation for new energy vehicles in the Qiongzhou Strait and effectively alleviate the tense situation of insufficient capacity for new energy vehicle transportation during the peak period of cross sea vehicle transportation in the Qiongzhou Strait.

On October 9, 2024, Malaysian Deputy Prime Minister Fadhila stated that Malaysia has made progress in improving energy efficiency and that "energy conservation" has become the key to energy transition. Meanwhile, Malaysia will promote the ASEAN power grid as a key topic of discussion at the ASEAN Energy Ministers' Meeting. At the 2024 Asia Power and Energy Exhibition, which opened on the 8th, Fadhila revealed that as of June, Malaysia has saved 8769 gigawatt hours of electricity, worth over 2.2 billion ringgit, and plans to reduce 38 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions by 2025. In addition, the Malaysian government has approved the establishment of an energy exchange aimed at selling green electricity to neighboring countries. As the rotating chair of ASEAN in 2025, Malaysia will promote the construction of the ASEAN power grid to promote the promotion of renewable energy and enhance the resilience and reliability of electricity supply in ASEAN member countries.
